VA Tech Shooting - Thoughts Go Out to 401/VT

If you haven't heard, there was a shooting in the dorms and in the engineering/science halls during class. Some were shot in class, with atleast 21 dead.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/16/vte...ing/index.html

I have many friends at VT, including many alumni of 384, 1086, and 1541.

I hope everyone is ok.

I'm desperately trying to get in touch with everyone I know at Tech, but so far I have only been able to contact one, and she knows no more than we do. My wishes and feeling extend to the families of the victims, and I hope that the 21+ wounded all recover.

I hope for the best, and I hope the 4 critically injured, or the 24 other injured do not join the 22 already deceased. I have been able to confirm most of my friends are okay, but my prayers and wishes extend out to anyone who is affected.

Re: VA Tech Shooting - 4/16/07

TAKE ALL INFO HERE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. I'M JUST TRYING TO PROVIDE A BETTER PERSPECTIVE


My mom checked me out of school today. All of Montgomery County schools were locked down, but we're able to get out slowly. My classmates are still in school. One of my buddies is on the rescue squad and he got word that 31 were dead. The official number is 22 (21+shooter), but I just heard on the radio that there are 32 (including the shooter).

It seems that the shooter shot two people in the dorm in the morning, yet classes continued as usual. In roughly 2 hours, he traveled across campus to one of the Engineering buildings and entered and opened fire in two classrooms. A instructor (not clear if it was a TA or a professor) is believed to be among one of the victims.

I have many friends and aquaintances in the engineering department. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Not a great way to come back from Atlanta...

Re: VA Tech Shooting - 4/16/07

Mike Trelease is OK. I talked to him earlier today. He was the first guy I called. Norris hall's classrooms are used for more than just engineering, and word is not out as to which of the the rumoured 2 classrooms/classes the gunman entered.

Gabe is OK. No word from the other 401 mentors yet.

Re: Thoughts Go Out to 401/VT

I've been watching this on MSNBC for a few hours, and it looks like the death toll has risen. All of my thoughts will be with the families and students today, as well as 401. What a horrible incident, especially only a couple days after the Championship (which 401 attended).
I hope that everyone affected will be alright.

Hey all "Mike T" here. As far as i know the HOkie Guard of 401 is safe, including all our mentors and students. Thanks to all of those who showed their concern and are praying for our safety. This is just a horrible tragedy, can't believe all of this is happening now. My prayers go to the families of those killed or injured.

Re: VA Tech Shooting - 4/16/07

We from team 292 are glad that everyone from team 401 is safe. I know when I first saw this that my thoughts went very quickly to the team from that area. Our prayers go out to those that are effected by this, those that are injured, the 32 people killed (that's the number at this time), or even just students on VA Tech's campus.
